I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

Tathagata heard the words, and said calmly: "That Pohou is still the king of Huaguo Mountain. It would be the best if you can persuade him to convert. If you can't, he has missed Buddhism several times, and there is no need to convert again."

Buddhism already has "talents" like the six-eared macaque who are proficient in fighting. For Monkey King, that rebellious monkey, there is no need to have it in the bag.

Jin Chanzi said: "I'm only going here to reminisce about the past, and I won't persuade him to convert."

Really not saving face for the Tathagata, Maitreya Buddha smiled even brighter, and let out a series of mocking laughter.

Avalokitesvara came out to smooth things over, "The fast food is ready, you have come from a long way, eat the fast food first, and then it will not be too late to get the scriptures."

As soon as food was mentioned, Zhu Bajie regained his energy, "Master, let's talk about something after dinner."

Jin Chanzi acquiesced to Bajie's proposal, and followed Guanyin to Zhen downstairs for dinner.

Huang Mei remembered that he was Maitreya's boy, and stared blankly at the smiling old monk.

Maitreya Buddha called him, "Come here, boy."

Huang Mei saluted, and said, "I'll go to have a vegetarian meal with Jin Chanzi first." Then he ran after the others.

The Tathagata looked at Maitreya Buddha and said in his heart, it seems that your disciple has also dropped his points.

Huang Mei caught up with Jin Chanzi and the others, followed silently, and came to the dinner table full of delicious food together.

Zhu Bajie murmured: "My old pig is the envoy of the altar, and I eat leftover tributes full-time. I just eat leftovers. These are not leftovers. I want to eat a good meal."

The six-eared macaque took a fruit in its hand and gnawed on it, thinking, if my golden arhat speaks out, although it won't make the other party feel like thunder, but it's still a bit ostentatious, and it doesn't take much effort, so it's a good deal.

Sand Monk rolled his eyes, and Jin Chanzi conferred a bodhisattva, and I conferred a golden body of Arhat, which is pretty good.

Xiaobailong thought in his heart that he has become the eight dragons of Buddhism, and he will be coiled on the pillar every day, waiting to be dispatched, and he does not know when he will be completely free.However, it offsets the crime of burning the orbs on the temple, and it is not bad to be beheaded by the heavens, and to save one's life.

Huang Mei sat beside Jin Chanzi and handed him a cup of tea, "...do you hate me?"

"My Buddha is merciful, and the most important thing is forgiveness. How can I blame you." Jin Chanzi smiled, "Even if you and I had a grudge in the previous life, in this life, I hit you not a hundred times, but eighty times. I have already paid you back." gone."

Huang Mei recalled that he had indeed been beaten a lot, and couldn't help frowning: "It makes sense, I seem to have lost a little bit."

Jin Chanzi took the tea, "After I drink up this cup of apology tea, the grievances between you and me will be wiped out."

Huang Mei hurriedly reached out to cover the mouth of the tea, "'resentment' is fine, but there is no need to tick 'en'. If you want, I will still treat you as my brother."

Jin Chanzi smiled and said: "Drink this cup of tea, the enmity between you and me will be wiped out, and the kindness will last forever."

Huang Mei just took her hand away, and watched Jin Chanzi pick up the tea, raised her head, slipped her Adam's apple, and drank it all in one gulp, showing a comfortable smile.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Zhu Bajie got up with difficulty, held his belly, and walked hobbled, "I tell you, eating too much is actually very painful. It's enough to be very full, and it's nothing to worry about."

The six-eared macaque said: "It's useless experience, no one will do it like you."

Zhu Bajie muttered in a low voice, "They're all monkeys, they're not lovable." Seeing the six-eared macaque glaring at him, he hurriedly moved closer to Jin Chanzi.

It was Ananda and Kassapa who were teaching Buddhist scriptures again, but Jin Chanzi just cleaned up for a while, and after witnessing that Jin Chanzi dared to talk back to the Buddha, both of them were very restrained and did not dare to ask for any personnel.

Jin Chanzi looked at the two of them and said, "You two really haven't changed at all."

Before he was cast into reincarnation, he knew Ananda and Kasyapa. At that time, they had such virtues. He had been reincarnated in the human world for eleven times, and they still hadn't made any progress. It can be seen that the environment of a pool of stagnant water is dedicated to raising these silverfish.

Ananda whispered in a strange voice, "You really have changed a lot, like a black rock."

"Yeah, I can smash your bald head with one punch." Jin Chanzi clenched his fists.

Kassapa hurriedly tugged on Ananda's sleeve, motioning him to stop talking, "Okay, preaching scriptures is a serious matter."

This time, Jin Chanzi simply read through each of the scriptures and made sure they were all written before handing them over to his disciples for safekeeping.

After a while, Ananda couldn't stay idle again, "The scriptures of the Buddha's previous retreat are also here, called the "Baoming Sutra", and they were passed down to the Tang Dynasty in vain."

Kassapa made no objection. To be precise, everyone present ignored him. Ananda felt bored and finally closed his mouth.

Jin Chanzi lifted the heavy load out of Daleiyin Temple by himself.

"It's time for Bianyu and I to return to Datang, you all should come together and accept the reward from Emperor Tang."

As soon as Zhu Bajie heard that there was a reward, he immediately said, "I'll go."

Drifting advised: "We look ugly, don't scare the Tang emperor, we should not go."

Jin Chanzi said: "In the future, the human race and the demon race will coexist. Although Datang is now a human race's world, it also knows that the demon kingdom exists. The two countries have business exchanges. Don't belittle yourself and worry about these unnecessary things."

Zhu Bajie stood beside Jin Chanzi happily, waiting for his master to drive the cloud.

The others also stood up, Jin Chanzi took off her mortal womb, was sealed as a bodhisattva, her memory and mana were restored at the same time, auspicious clouds rose, and she led a group of people down to the top of Lingshan Mountain.

At this time, I heard two clicks and clicks in the air, and looked up, it turned out to be Jiuling Yuansheng.

"Congratulations, you have completed the great cause of learning from the scriptures!"

Only then did Jin Chanzi remember that he hadn't seen Jiuling Yuansheng recently, "You haven't photographed us for ten days, right? By the way, return this magic weapon to you."

Jiuling Yuansheng took the magic treasure golden ring, "No, no. You won't give me the monsters you caught later, so I don't need to show up. In fact, I even took pictures of you and Jingchen in the river together .”

When Huang Mei heard this, he showed a "disgusted" expression to Jin Chanzi, "We are in the river together? In other words, we take a bath together?" After finishing speaking, Jin Chanzi kicked Xiangyun off, "Driving the cloud by myself Go, don't rub against my clouds."

Huang Mei was in mid-air, and made a cloud out by himself, and lined up next to Jin Chanzi, and said to Jiuling Yuansheng: "Where is the image, I want to see it!"

"No, Xu, here, he, look!" Jin Chanzi paused every word.

Jiuling Yuansheng said with a smile: "When you come to Wangxia City, let's watch it together. I'll go first. You should be busy." After speaking, he drove away in the clouds.

Jin Chanzi thought to himself, maybe his godfather captured Jingchen's true face. That night, the situation was urgent, and he seemed to see a Taoist in a daze, and he didn't know if he was wrong.

He kept silent, and continued to fly towards Chang'an with a group of people.

It is said that ever since the buddhist monk brothers left Chang'an, Li Shimin asked people to build a watch tower in the southwest corner of the capital, which was specially used to observe whether Master Bianxin was returning.

Unexpectedly, Master Bianxin and Master Bianxin came back before the roof of the Sutra Learning Building was sealed.

When Li Shimin heard the report, he couldn't believe his ears. The last time Chen Xuanzang walked for eight years and passed away halfway, Wu Bianyu only walked for eight months and had already returned.

Could it be that they encountered difficulties on the way and came back to rescue soldiers?

After seeing the scriptures brought back by Bian Xin, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "After 28 years, I finally got the scriptures back." Seeing the monster-looking people around Bian Xin and Bian Yu, " Are these... foreigners?"

Jin Chanzi introduced Xiao Bailong and other apprentices one by one.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It turned out that they were apprentices on the way. I hosted a banquet in the East Pavilion to treat you and others, and thank you for your contribution in escorting the Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty."

Drifting whispered: "Actually, Master doesn't use us to protect him very much."

Zhu Bajie was not polite, "Hey, don't say that, the protection in the previous life was also protection, and it's all credit. The emperor wants to thank you, so don't refuse."

Li Shimin and a group of ministers attended the thank-you banquet for the Buddhist scriptures.

At the banquet, Li Shimin had already begun to care about the translation and explanation after learning the scriptures, "There are many scriptures, and the wording is different from my writing in the Tang Dynasty. .”

"We have a senior brother Bianji in Hongfu Temple. His Buddhist attainments and comprehension are excellent, and he should be able to help us."

Li Shimin asked for money and someone to give, and immediately said: "Let him organize the scriptures with you."

With the support of the emperor, everything is not a problem.

The apprentices who followed the scriptures were rewarded.

As the lay parents of Bian Xin and Bian Yu, Wu Deyou and his wife were also commended.

The scriptures were moved into Hongfu Temple, and Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei formed a staff to sort out these scriptures, especially the scriptures related to the salvation of the dead, which were prioritized.

He brought back the scriptures and ended the agreement with Li Shimin.

Jin Chanzi chose a sunny day and flew to Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country.

But the weather is changing, the sun is shining brightly in the Tang Dynasty, but Huaguo Mountain is full of thunder and lightning, and it rains heavily.

The monkey soldiers in Huaguo Mountain were patrolling in coir raincoats, when they saw a big monk who looked like a black diamond appear on the beach under the red lightning, they immediately became nervous.

"Our majesty doesn't like Buddhists. It doesn't matter what you do, you just come here for alms. Please leave and go to another place."

"Your king is Sun Wukong?"

"It is the Monkey King."

"Please tell him. My name is Jin Chanzi. I want to see him and say something that I should have said, but I haven't said."

The patrolling monkey quickly went to the top of the mountain, and after a while, the monkey replied: "My king said, the golden cicada he knows is white and fat, not black and strong, who are you?"

"I'm not only Jin Chanzi, but also the godson of the prime minister of the Yao Kingdom. You go and report."

This time, the patrolling monkey brought back good news, "Come with me, the king said he can meet you."

Unexpectedly, if you want to see Monkey King, you have to rely on the relationship between the demon kingdom, which shows that Buddhism and him are really not likable.

The patrolling monkey took him to Shuilian Cave. Although it was a rainy day, I heard that the master before the king had come. There were monkeys squatting on the branches all over the mountain, and some of them were irritable and even spat at him.

"You dead bald donkey, what are you doing here?"

"My great king has suffered a lot from you."

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and passed them one by one, without making a sound when he was scolded, all the way to the water curtain cave.

Entering the Water Curtain Cave requires vigorous skills, which is no problem for Jin Chanzi, who jumped into the Water Curtain Cave after a few steps in the air.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Sun Wukong reclining on the throne with his legs crossed. When he heard the movement, he glanced at him, showing a puzzled expression, "Who are you? Jin Chanzi?"

Tang Seng looked like dough in both appearance and character, but the monk in front of him was black and strong, like a mountain of coal.

Jin Chanzi said: "It's the poor monk."

"..." Sun Wukong sat upright, and after a while, he seemed to accept the fact, and said with a smile: "The children said that there was a black-shaped monk who called himself Jin Chanzi. I thought there was a monk named Jin Chanzi. You lied to me, it turned out to be really you. The black is so well-proportioned that I was taken aback, tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

"I have already been to Lingshan and retrieved the scriptures."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "Are you here to show off? It's just that my hands are itchy, so I can fight outside."

"No. I just want to tell you that the matter of learning the scriptures is over, and you and I are completely free."

"Old Sun has been free since he got rid of the restraint."

"...Before, you accompanied me to learn scriptures, and I made things difficult for you and treated you harshly. I am so sorry."

Sun Wukong was startled for a while, and he was in a daze for a few breaths. After he came back to his senses, he said: "...Hmph, you are not Tang Seng."

"I am, I have all his memories." Jin Chanzi said: "If you can always accompany me to learn the scriptures, last time, I wouldn't die in the middle of the road, but if I drove you away, why not me?" You have to blame yourself. Of course, maybe such a result is not bad, if you continue to accompany me, I don’t know how much I will suffer. In short, I apologize for all the behaviors I have done to you before. "

Sun Wukong saw his sincere expression. Although he looked nothing like Tang Seng from the previous life, suddenly, Monkey King seemed to really see the Tang Seng he had escorted to apologize to him.

He froze for a moment, "You monk has really changed your temper."

Afterwards, Sun Wukong jumped onto the throne again, waved his hands and said with a smile: "My grandson is not a small-minded person. After so many years, my grandson has long forgotten about it. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay for lunch. " After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Jin Chanzi and saw him nodding, so he ordered in a loud voice, "Prepare the banquet, my king and Jin Chanzi catch up on the old days."

Soon, the little monkeys prepared home-brewed vegetarian wine and dishes, and Monkey King and Jin Chanzi were seated together.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "You monk has really changed a lot. If I had escorted you back then, I wouldn't have suffered so much. That's you, and this is you, why is there such a difference?"

Jin Chanzi didn't hide it either, "Tang Seng is my 'suspect' reincarnation, and I lost my parents when I was young. My mother sent me away along the river. I'm just a mortal who grew up in a temple. Unlike this life, I lived in Luzhou, Beiju. Growing up, my parents are still alive, and my godfather cares for me. Naturally, it’s different.”

The two chatted for a while, and after a few glasses of wine, Sun Wukong snorted and said to Jin Chanzi: "You can come to apologize today, which is far beyond my expectations, but when you were a Tang monk in your previous life, I scolded you." The bald donkey is not wronged, he strangled the old grandson's skull so badly."

"If you do something wrong, you have to apologize." Jin Chanzi observed the shape of Monkey King's head, and saw that the dent from being strangled by the tight hoop had flattened out, and he was relieved a lot.

"You, the golden cicada, have some good qualities. No wonder Tathagata cherishes you. Compared with other guys in Buddhism, you are considered outstanding. However, you have obtained scriptures in this life and returned to Buddhism. Maybe one day you will be beaten again. Reincarnation, when the time comes, I will learn scriptures and make amends again." Sun Wukong hummed: "Old Tathagata, you can't keep your promises."

Jin Chanzi said: "Nowadays, the world is changing rapidly, and I don't want to go back to the old-fashioned Lingshan."

Sun Wukong scratched his cheeks, "Your godfather is the prime minister of Yao Kingdom, at worst, go to Wangxia City."

"I'm going to visit Wangxia City next time, why don't you go with me? Just in time to meet your companion brother Shi Zheng."

"My old grandson won't go. I heard that he has lost his memory. Besides, I promised him that I could help him with two favors. Now I can't help any of them. I'm too embarrassed to show up." Monkey King took a sip of his wine, "Help me Just take it with you."

Jin Chanzi said: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

After drinking vegetarian wine, both of them talked more.

Jin Chanzi asked with concern: "Have you been in Huaguo Mountain since you left the scripture-seeking team?"

"To be honest, my old grandson has been practicing in closed doors." Sun Wukong smiled confidently, "Hmph, if Tathagata wants to arrest me now, it won't be as easy as before."

"The status of monsters is no longer what it was in the past 20 years. Heaven and Buddhism can't catch monsters casually."

"That's true." Sun Wukong said with a smile: "After I finished the retreat, I found out that the world has changed a lot, and I was really shocked. It's not as shocking as when I found out that you, 'Master', were reincarnated into what you are now."

After the banquet, Monkey King was in a good mood. He drank a few more glasses, his cheeks flushed, and drunkenly sent Jin Chanzi to the outside of Shuilian Cave, and waved: "If you have free time, come and visit, you monk, my old man Sun doesn't hate it."

Jin Chanzi made a Buddhist ceremony, "Come to visit some other day." Then he flew away in a cloud.

At this time, after the rain, the sky cleared up, and a gorgeous rainbow rose in the sky.

Breathing the fresh air after the rain, Monkey King stood in front of the Shuilian Cave, overlooking the entire Huaguo Mountain, and couldn't help laughing: "The blessed land of the cave belongs to the old Sun's Huaguo Mountain."

Huaguo Mountain is full of aura and is the best place for cultivation.

—

Jin Chanzi left Huaguo Mountain and went straight to Wangxia City in Luzhou, Beiju. At this moment, he felt more relaxed physically and mentally than ever before.

He lived in Wangxia City until he was six years old. Although his memory of this place is vague, his feelings are strong. After all, he spent half of his childhood here.

He toured several streets and found that it was very different from when he was a child. The dilapidated houses had been transformed into more spacious and bright residences.

The location of his former house has become a teahouse.

He was standing at the door, thinking whether to go in and have a cup of tea, when he heard someone calling from behind him, "Isn't this Shizan? Is it Shizan?"

He turned around and recognized the person at a glance, "Village head?"

Because the village chief looked similar to what he remembered, and there was nothing he could do for more than ten years.

The village chief held Jin Chanzi enthusiastically, "How are your parents? Are you in good health? Oh, you really became a monk. Where's your brother?"

Jin Chanzi said in surprise, "Village Chief, you haven't changed at all after all these years."

The village chief smiled and said, "Who among the residents of Wanxia City can't learn the method of exhaling breath? In the past, the human race went there in their forties or fifties, but now it's normal to live to be seven or eighty years old."

Jin Chanzi was even more surprised, "But my appearance must have changed a lot, how did you recognize me?"

The village head laughed, grabbed Jin Chanzi by the sleeve, led him to a main street, and stopped at a place called the news bulletin board.

The village chief pointed to a news bulletin inside and said, "Look for yourself."

Jin Chanzi saw that the images of himself, his younger brother, and his apprentices were printed on a piece of paper and posted on the bulletin board.

There is also a line of big characters on it: The Buddhist Buddhist scriptures program has been successfully concluded, and the Buddhist scriptures team returned to Datang smoothly.

And the small characters below introduced in detail the situation of the members of their sutra learning team. He focused on the introduction, after all, he was originally a citizen of Wangxia City.

His layman's name, the name he changed in Tang Dynasty, and his dharma name are all written clearly.

No wonder the village chief recognized him.

The village head pulled him again, "It really took a blink of an eye, you have grown up so much, come, follow me to meet the old folks."

Jin Chanzi had no choice but to go back with the village head to meet the villagers and neighbors.

She stayed at the village head's house for one night, and the next day she was free to go to the palace to meet her godfather and the demon emperor.

—

When Shi Zheng heard that Jin Chanzi was visiting, he hurriedly asked the guards to bring him in.

This was the first time Shi Zheng had seen Jin Chanzi in real life after many years.

The real person is much more impactful than the photo, Shi Zheng couldn't help thinking in his heart, what a burly and powerful monk, good guy, it looks like one person can pull out ten weeping willows.

Jin Chanzi bowed to Shi Zheng, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Shi Zheng hurriedly said: "You're welcome, uncle will be here soon, you take a seat first." He asked someone to show Jin Chanzi a seat and let him sit down and wait.

Jin Chanzi thanked His Majesty the Demon Emperor and sat down graciously.

Shi Zheng said with a smile: "The 30-year pilgrimage has finally come to an end. You have been enshrined as a Buddha, so you must have recovered all your memories from your previous life."

Jin Chanzi nodded, "So I went to Huaguo Mountain to ask Sun Wukong to apologize. I was very sorry for him in my previous life."

"Has he left the seclusion? I have sent people to invite him several times, but he is still in seclusion." Shi Zheng said, "Why didn't you invite him to come with you?"

"He said he will show up when he can help you. He also asked me to take care of you." Jin Chanzi said: "Always a proud monkey."

Shi Zheng chuckled, "Life is long, there will always be goodbyes, and there is no rush."

Jin Chanzi thought for a while, and then asked, "I don't know if Your Majesty knows a nun named Jingchen. I saw her a few days ago, but he turned into a Taoist in the end. I am very puzzled." .”

Even if he recovers his memory, it will only be Tang Seng's. From Tang Seng's point of view, the Jingchen incident is all in the clouds.

The scripture learning is over, and there is no need to hide anything, Shi Zheng said: "There is no such person as Jingchen, no matter in the last life or this life, what you meet is the boy sent by Tushita Palace to pretend to be It is to prevent you from going west. However, both Buddhism and Taoism are allowed to create hardships for you on the road."

"I roughly guessed that the one who looks like a Taoist at the end is the real body."

Shi Zheng thought to himself, did Yin Boy show his real body in front of Jin Chanzi?what's the situation?Have you been beaten to your original form? !

At this time, Jiuling Yuansheng came in with a video recorder, saw Jin Chanzi and asked with a smile, "Where's your brother, why didn't you follow?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Let me check the video you took first. If there is something inappropriate, don't show it to him. Otherwise, if he sees it, I can't hit him until he loses his memory."

Jiuling Yuansheng laughed and said: "You have all become Buddhas, why are you still the same?"

Jin Chanzi corrected: "I was named a Bodhisattva, and Bianyu is an Arhat."

Shi Zheng listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows secretly. It seemed that the Tathagata was not very satisfied with Jin Chanzi who had returned to his throne, and only gave him a bodhisattva status.

Jiuling Yuansheng showed Jin Chanzi a few photos, "Look at how well these photos are taken, how natural they are."

"...Why do I feel that most of them are our embarrassing moments..."

"No way."

Finally, he saw the image of him and Jing Chen in the river that night, but at the moment the photo was taken, Jing Chen was moving, and it became a blur of light and shadow, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

This is probably the will of God in the dark.

Jin Chanzi went through all the images in advance, and after confirming that there were more ugly photos of Huang Mei than him, he was finally relieved.

Shi Zheng asked Jin Chanzi, "What are your plans for the future? I mean after sorting out the Buddhist scriptures."

"I haven't planned yet, but when I saw Huaguo Mountain today, I felt a little touched. Finding a place with beautiful scenery to retreat and meditate, to settle my heart, is a choice."

Shi Zheng said with a smile: "A place with beautiful scenery is indeed full of aura, but a place where the heaven, earth, monsters are harmonious, the aura is not bad.

We have monitored many places, Beiju Luzhou, especially near Wangxia City, the spiritual energy value continues to rise.

Even the lifespan of human beings is much longer after simple cultivation.It is better to come to Wangxia City to "retreat and practice" if you hide in the city. "

Jiuling Yuansheng also said: "Yes, this is all supported by numbers." Suddenly, he remembered something, pointed to the sky, and said to Shi Zheng: "Yuan Chiyu should be in the heaven."

"Almost."

Jin Chanzi couldn't understand what they said, and his expression was slightly puzzled.

Jiuling Yuansheng explained to Jin Chanzi: "Tianting said that aura cannot be regenerated, but we insisted that it can. So we sent the monitoring data of the past year to Tianting."

Jin Chanzi also knew about Tianting, "They won't believe it, and they will accuse you of inaccurate monitoring."

Shi Zheng said: "Believe it or not, it's not just for the Heavenly Court. I gave a copy to all the sects and mountains that can be named in the four major continents. In short, this world will get better and better."
